MOST Brit holidaymakers wouldn't have heard of this tiny beach in Europe, which is home to singing sand. <\/p>\n
Europe's most famous beaches are in countries like Spain<\/span>, Italy<\/span>, and Greece, but there are other less well-known spots dotted across the continent. <\/p>\n One of those beaches is on Lake Peipus, which sits on the Estonian border with Russia<\/span>. <\/p>\n Lake Peipus is the fourth largest lake in Europe, and it's home to plenty of sandy beaches, including Kauksi Beach. <\/p>\n Surrounded by a pine forest, the sandy beach stretches for several kilometres. <\/p>\n Often referred to as "beautiful" by its visitors, the beach is known for its "singing sands". <\/p>\n The singing sands are generally caused by grains of sand sliding over layers of sand below, which creates a "singing" or "booming" noise. <\/p>\n Set on the northern side of the lake, the beach is located near Kauksi Resort Village. <\/p>\n The resort village is home to several lake cabins and woodland lodges, which are within walking distance of the beach. <\/p>\n Kauski Beach can be accessed by a series of stairs leading down the dunes. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the golden sand at the beach, there are several wooden paths on the beach that form a series of observation platforms. <\/p>\n There are other facilities on the beach too, including a space to play volleyball and swing sets. <\/p>\n Because there are no lifeguards on duty at Kauksi Beach, swimming is permitted but caution is advised.<\/p>\n The best way to get there is to fly to\u00a0Tallinn, which takes around 2hr50 from the UK, with another two-hour drive to the beach.<\/p>\n Both Ryanair and Wizz Air operate direct flights from the UK to Tallinn, with fares starting at \u00a323 per person for a one-way ticket. <\/p>\n Elsewhere in Estonia, there's also Saaremaa – a holiday island that used to be home to terrifying pirates. <\/p>\n Once being a wealthy county, the island was home to pirates also known as the Eastern\u00a0Vikings.<\/p>\n However, the island was cut off from the mainland during\u00a0WWII, and remained that way until the 1990s.<\/p>\n Now, mainland locals flock to the island, often visiting the beaches in the\u00a0summer months, along with annual music festivals.<\/p>\n But the island is also popular in the\u00a0winter, being home to a huge number of\u00a0spas.<\/p>\n Kuressaare, a resort town on the island, looks like something from a fairytale and has some of the highest number of spas per capita, with around one for every ten people.<\/p>\n If you want something more off the beaten track,\u00a0Brits should head to Albena, in\u00a0Bulgaria, lesser-known by UK holidaymakers who often head to Sunny Beach instead.<\/p>\n Or\u00a0head to Palanga in\u00a0Lithuania\u00a0which has long been popular with locals and Eastern European tourists.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
